    Do you wear your Watch while showering or washing dishes?

    I never wear it showering. I don't see any reason to do so and I change from my cellular watch to the regular GPS for the night after a shower. Doing dishes? No, I dont get it wet, so I leave it on. When I clean the aquarium, I usually have it on, but if I find I need to dunk both hands in...

    Show off your Apple Watch!

    Series 8 GPS/Cellular, Starlight with elderberry band. This is my first cellular watch but I’m not sure I’ll keep the cell feature if I purchase a new watch in the next series or two.

    Odd Question Regarding Ford Sync

    A bit of an update-the suggestion worked for that issue. Next up, when I’m done with car play and disconnect the iPhone from the usb, the phone does not reconnect with the sync system. Only after turning off the vehicle and restarting does the phone connect. On my12 pro max and all prior...

    Odd Question Regarding Ford Sync

    I received a new iPhone Pro Max in October along with a new Apple Watch GPS and cellular. Does anyone know if I have to pair the watch with my Ford Fusion SYNC ALSO? It seem phone calls are not going to the sync system even though the phone is paired.

    Activity No Longer Being Applied to November Challenge.

    Thank you for that. I read through all of those reporting similar issues and many have contacted Apple support with no resolution. It’ll probably be one of those mystery items that resolve with the next watchOS update.

    Activity No Longer Being Applied to November Challenge.

    I've tried that and also the suggestion to reboot watch and phone with no success. However, this is the weird part. It has the correct total days I've completed the move ring in the evening. When morning arrives, it's back to 0. Very strange.

    Activity No Longer Being Applied to November Challenge.

    It's a bit strange. Apple watch Series 8 Cellular and GPS received near the end of October. My November Challenge is to close the Move ring a certain number of times. Okay, no problem as I close it every day. But for some reason, since November 1, it isn't being applied to my challenge. In...

    Any “girls” getting the ultra??

    I was tempted, but decided not to. It's a bit too large for my wrist and I didn't want to spend that much. I don't do extreme sports so other than liking the different look, it didn't seem a logical purchase.

    Welcome to the new-look iMore

    Agree. I'm okay with the new layout, but I can't tolerate the bright screen for long. I do need dark mode.

    Does anyone else miss the fingerprint scanner?

    I prefer touch ID. I wish you had a choice of which you would like to use.

    Does anyone else miss the fingerprint scanner?

    I miss it. Really don't care for face ID.

    Do you plan to use your current iPhone for at least 3 years before upgrading?

    I bought my 8 Plus in 2018 and purchased the 12 Pro Max recently. I'll probably keep it longer than 3 years and if anything happens to it, I'll go back to the 8 Plus. I don't notice a whole lot of difference between those two, except for screen size, so.....

    Foundation Release Now August 2021?

    Is it just me, or was Foundation scheduled to be released in February of 2021? I've just read that it won't happen until August 2021. Bummer. This is the only reason I subscribed to TV+. I've watched a few other series, but I've been really looking forward to Foundation.
